A group of US senators, including a Republican war critic, have announced agreement on a resolution opposing President George W. Bush's plan for sending more troops to Iraq. The move has set the stage for a major clash between the White House and Congress over the unpopular war.

Carl Levin, democrat senator, said "This resolution, in addition to saying that we do not support increased troops, deeper military involvement, also calls for the transition of our military mission to a more limited one of training, counter-terrorism and protecting the territorial integrity of Iraq. It also calls for the greater engagement of other countries in the region, in the stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq."
